"WHAT THE FUCK are you doing here?" Kade groaned as he walked past Aria and marched towards the brunette.

"I thought you would be happy to see me," the brunette chuckled.

"You bring bad news every time you come here," Kade scoffed, eyes narrowed at the brunette.

"You break my heart, Kadey." She chuckled but her eyes moved to Aria who was staring at them with her parted lips.

"Oh my, that's her?" She smiled at Aria and then at Kade.

"You will speak nothing about her," Kade glared.

"I wasn't going to anyways and plus it's you who always speaks about her," she smiled.

"Why are you here?" Kade arched an eyebrow at her.

"Weren't you in Switzerland the last time I checked?" He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

He blinked as he saw her innocently smile at him and flutter her eyelashes at him, a look he was very familiar with.

"Adrianna fucking Saint Laurent! Did you get expelled again?" Kade shrilled at her, his eyes nearly popping.

She gasped, placing her hand on her heart, "Do you think that low of me, dear cousin? You break my heart, Kadey."

"Yes, I did." She innocently smiled while he deeply frowned.

"Adrianna?" Aria arched an eyebrow at the brunette.

"She's my cousin. You know the hidden Saint Laurent heiress? That's her." Kade sighed as Adrianna waved at Aria.

"Aria Arora. I've heard a lot about you." Adrianna smiled as she got up, "Specially from my cousin right here."

Aria arched an eyebrow at Kade who was looking away.

"The Adrianna Saint Laurent getting expelled? That's unexpected." Aria mumbled with a small smile, Aria was a fan of troublemakers after all.

"They do say expect the unexpected." Adrianna chuckled as she walked towards Aria.

"Hmm, I like you already." Aria mumbled with a small smirk.

"Don't they all?" Adrianna mused, a mischievous smirk dancing on her lips.

"Adri!"

The three turned their heads to see Kai quickly jogging downstairs with a bright grin on his face.

"Hey, Kai." She smiled as they two hugged.

"You told him that you were coming but not me?" Kade frowned as the two parted the hug.

"Kai's my favourite," she grinned, "Don't be jealous, Kadey."

"Yeah, don't be jealous, Kade." Aria chuckled, patting Kade's back.

"I'm not." Kade grumbled, glaring at the two girls.

"Shopping as planned, Adri?" Kai grinned, nudging Adrianna.

"Of course, cousin." Adrianna grinned.

"How long are you gonna be here?" Kade groaned as he stared at his cousin.

"Until my dad ships my ass to another school. A week, I guess?" Adrianna shrugged.

"What was the reason, now? Broke an arm? Broke a leg? Or both?" Kade sighed as he stared at his cousin.

He frowned as he watched her face sullen, "Did anyone do something to you?" He asked, a hint of worry lacing his words. Even though she annoyed the fuck out of him, he had a soft spot for her since she was the only female cousin he had.

"Is that worry I detect, Kadey?" Adrianna chuckled, "I broke my cheater of an ex's jaw," she smiled proudly.

"Damn girl, that's fucking amazing." Aria mumbled, a smirk dancing on her lips.

"I know." Adrianna proudly smiled, her stormy eyes glinting with pure mischief.

It had only been a few minutes and Aria had already liked the girl which was something unusual since she never liked people easily.

But, there was something about Adrianna which drew her in; it was the scent of danger dancing around her and those sinful lips which had secrets hidden behind it.

Adrianna Saint Laurent was a mystery; a mystery that could never be solved.

Aria's curiosity increased every second but she soon stopped thinking when her chestnut eyes met Adrianna's stormy grey eyes which pulled her in, they were almost the same colour as Kade's.

"Adri, let's go!" Kai chuckled as he pulled onto Adrianna's hand.

"Sure," she smiled and then looked up at Kade and Aria.

Adrianna walked towards Kade, "What the fuck are you waiting for? The world to end? Confess your love to her, Kadey." She softly whispered in his ear, an evil smirk dancing on her lips.

"Anna!" Kade hissed, glaring at her, his ears turning a light shade of pink.

Adrianna rolled her eyes and walked over to Aria who was staring at her, almost studying her.

"He's an asshole sometimes but give him chance. He has a good heart." Adrianna whispered into Aria's ear as she patted her back, engulfing her into a quick hug.

Aria gave her a small smile, hugging the brunette back.

"I hope we'll see each other again," Aria mumbled, "You're more fun than your cousin."

"I can keep you good company if you don't want him." Adrianna flirtatiously winked at Aria as she blinked, a small cheeky grin taking over Aria's lips.

"Adrianna!" Kade hissed, pulling her back from Aria.

"Jealous, Kadey?" Adrianna teased, "That's why you better hurry up," she chuckled.

"Adri, let's go!" Kai whined as he pulled onto her arm.

"Goodbye, sweethearts!" Adrianna shouted as the duo left the mansion, leaving Kade and Aria flustered.

"She's quite something." Aria mumbled with a small smile as they watched the pair get into the car.

"Oh, tell me about it." Kade grumbled as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Aria arched an eyebrow at Kade who was staring deeply into her eyes as if she was puzzle and he was figuring her out.

"Just thinking about last night," he mumbled, a small smile growing on his lips.

Aria blinked at him, "I don't regret anything I did," she mumbled as she dug into her breakfast.

Kade let out a laugh, "That's cause you don't remember what you did."

"As long as I didn't kill someone, I don't want to remember." She scoffed, her lips twisting into a small frown.

"What if I told you that you did something worse than that?" Kade muttered as he brought his face closer to, his blue eyes looking into her midnight ones.

"What can that be?" Aria muttered as she bit her lip, a fuzzy feeling blossoming in her chest as she stared into his eyes.

Kade smiled and brought his lips closer to her ears, softly brushing against her jaw. "That's something you'll never know." He huskily whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine.

Aria breathed, her lips were slightly parted and her eyes had slightly widened. She blinked, processing Kade's words. Her heart was rapidly beating against her chest. She had no idea what she last night but she knew it was about Kade Lennox.

"Why won't you tell me?" She whispered as he moved his head from her, the warmth disappearing as well.

"When the time is right, I will tell you. I promise it's going to come soon." Kade smiled at her.

"I don't think I can last for that long." Aria grumbled.

Kade let out a laugh, a warm one. "Aria, you're really something." He chuckled, shaking his head at the girl.

Aria softly smiled at the sight of Kade laughing, "You make me feel something, idiot." She whispered under her breath.

Kade glanced at her as he paused laughing, "Did you say something?"

"No. Nothing." She mumbled with a small smile.
